Susan's 2010 Christmas Unveiling

Okay so every year my friend Lisa, KC and I count down the days to Susan Taylor's store's Christmas Events and Fall Classes. Nov 4th was the night her new store (new location) was going to launch the new Christmas decor/ideas themes etc. I can't tell you how excited I was. I was actually sad because my dear friend KC had to work late and was unable to attend the event. The day was rainy and dreary and cold and I had at least 30 things to do yesterday before 6pm when I was meeting Lisa to leave for Susan's store.
I don't know how I got through the day but I did. And it was worth it. Below are endless photos of the event at Black Eyed Susan's.

Enjoy! Here I am with Lisa and Susan at the end of the night. My bags are on the floor. I look awful. Bad rainy night, bad hair, had to use my trusty baseball cap. Yikes.

The store was booming! Here is Susan doing what she loves most. Teaching!

Look at the store from the outside. Magnificent. It was pouring when we left so I was getting rained on as I snapped a few pics outside.

Oh My Gosh!

Here is my new blog/friend Shannon "Ducks in a row" designing something beautiful.

This looked spectacular in person. It just yells Winter!

I want to say there were 8 or 9 trees in total over 8 feet high. This was the red and silver tree. Breathtaking with tiny sparkly ornaments.

This was my favorite. It was brown and copper and glittery.

This one was white, grey, light blue and dreamy.

This one was pink with velvety pink doves and lovely fancy glittery dresses.

These were the two sister trees, white with lovely green, see in basket.

Last but not least, but it's too much to blog, this was my favorite wreath. I'm gonna make one.

about me

My husband and I bought a 1960's year old Colonial style farmhouse that we fell in love with. Over the years we have restored, added on to and gone through renovations. I am a mother of two, wife, teacher and writer. I write fiction and am the author of The Shoebox and the newly published The Eighth Summer. I have a third one in the works. I love writing, reading, gardening, blogging, searching for vintage things, baking, living a healthy lifestyle, taking care of animals and coffee. Alot of coffee.
